I just read about a new company that provides companies with *every* post you have ever made on *any* social media network.

Why wait for 1984 when you can have it now?

Just to clarify, there is no password to find.

When there are spaces in the path to your content, it causes the "ask for password" issue.

e.g. if your content is located at:

C:\something\my xerte\something\

It will cause the password prompt to appear when zipped.

The folder needs to be renamed so the path becomes:

C:\something\myxerte\something\
or

C:\something\my_xerte\something\

Ah the fluff server probably won't support the file location xerte uses as the locations will change.

If you don't have a webspace maybe see if you can create it using google websites? That should work.

It's what my university uses for large file sharing rather than emailing - you upload a file to the fluff server, it sends you a link, then you email that link to whoever you want to be able to access the file

Ooh ok I'll try searching for the password
Thanks again

What is a fluff server?
The password is usually due to spaces in the filename I think? That should be in the archives if you search at the xerte homepage

OK, I'll give the website option a go. 
I think the second option I have already tried: I uploaded to a fluff server and tried to unzip and run index.html and it asked for a password....

Thanks so much for your help

I'd try the website approach though if you can

Hello,
Sounds like write permissions on the flash drive.

You also get zinc error messages if you only the rlt and rlo from inside a zip file.

Thanks for the reply
Yep, it says 'Zinc cannot create file'.
Here's what I can see: 

<image.png>

This is the file location.I've been working from 'Ruth Russell eSSC' on my desktop, and saving my changes.

When I tried to save 'Ruth Russell eSSC' to a flashdrive, I got the Zinc Error message.
When I click on 'index' on my desktop, a google chrome page opens with a fully interactive tutorial which works.  However, if I save the 'index' file to a flashdrive, then attempt to open it, I just get a blank page.

I upload the zipped version of the whole 'Transcript Tutorial' file to a fluff server, then downloaded the folder to check it worked: 

<image.png>

On this version, I cannot open any of the files, as it asks for a password. However, the original versions can be opened without a password on my desktop.

Hope that's clearer
ThanksRuth

Generally, any error message like that points to a permissions error.
e.g. the Zinc wrapper that interacts with the file system is trying to create a file somewhere (maybe a temp file or batch file) and does not have permissions to the folder in question to do so.

I'm not so well versed on Xerte Online Toollkits, so I don't know where/what files would be being denied.
Can you give more details, what you mean by open the shared version.
It can it be open, but fails when someone else tries to open it concurrently?

That sort of thing.

Apologies if this is a very stupid problem. I have very little computer experience.

I've made a tutorial using the 'Media Interactions' template.
It is saved as an .rlt file. I am trying to share it. It uploads fine to both a fluff server and an external hard drive, but when I try to open the shared version I get this message:

'MDM Zinc v2 Error Handler''Zinc has encountered the following error: Cannot create file' 
Any help massively appreciated. My deadline for submission is Monday

ThanksRuth
